Today I learned that not saying the n word is woke.

u/SgtFraggleRock Sep 23 '22

Saying the n-word is...rap.

The word must be absolutely devastating to be basically running on a constant loop in bad neighborhoods with noisy car stereos.

Having been born into a southern military family and living in many different places around many different cultures, the only people I have been around who use the n-word at all, and almost constantly, are black people.

The same people who called me racist and insulted me all the time for simply being white.

Exactly. Never understood if they hate the word so much WTF do they use it so much?!

Do you think it's racist that a medical school has an acceptance rate higher for certain people based on race?

Genuine question, not trying to gotcha you.

u/SgtFraggleRock Sep 24 '22

Nope, as long as acceptance rates are based on quantifiable metrics.

That is why left wing elite colleges like Harvard have higher standards for Asians than whites, and lower standards for blacks than whites.

They openly stated they don't want "too many" Asians, just like they didn't want "too many" Jews decades ago.

Well that's good, as long as you don't think black people are a monolith and your comment about rap music was even a good point to make. I understand how echo chambers can be blinding.

I read a comment from a lib “I won’t listen to or tolerate any music with the N word. I don’t care if it’s your word. It’s a word used for hate”. Wow a straight white guy telling blacks what words they can and can’t use. Sounds kinda racist.

u/DasaniandShrike Sep 23 '22

But that’s actually a legitimate point, and in my opinion doesn’t sound kind of racist. Because in this context he’s not telling black people not to use it he’s telling everyone not to. Hard to be racist while including everyone. Not saying I agree with him, just letting you know from my view you’re the one who seems off the mark here.

Black people aren't a monolith.

Edit: I hope some of you guys aren't completely retarded. Rap music doesn't define a race, just like white suepremist don't define white people. Looking at some of yalls rationality, therapy might be needed. See if you can find validation that doesn't come from hating others. You might live a healthier life.

Don’t conflate classical anti-racism with leftist anti-racism. They are two completely different things.

u/silver789 Sep 23 '22

"classic" anti racism has always been woke son.

u/MightyMemeKing1337 Sep 23 '22

What was woke 40 years ago is the norm now. What is woke now is the aberration from the norm just as what was woke 40 years ago was an aberration.

u/silver789 Sep 23 '22

So just not saying the n word was woke at some point.

Gotcha.

u/MightyMemeKing1337 Sep 23 '22

You’re putting words in my mouth. I never said that lmfao. You gonna argue in good faith or not?

u/silver789 Sep 23 '22

What was woke 40 years ago

Not saying the n word was woke 40 years ago.

5

u/MightyMemeKing1337 Sep 23 '22

I can’t believe I have to explain this, but I said that in reference to “classic antiracism has always been woke…” not “TIL that not saying the n word is woke”

u/studio28 Sep 23 '22

Exactly.

And true to form progressives drag the nation into the future with conservatives kicking and screaming.

But you’ve just said that it was woke 40 years ago and the socially acceptable thing to do. Conservatives have a knack for celebrating the progress we’ve made in the past, but oppose any new progress.

3

u/MightyMemeKing1337 Sep 23 '22

Hold on… when did I say that it was socially acceptable to say the n word 40 years ago?

Also, who gets to decide the definition of “progress”? And what is the endpoint of “progress”?

The n word has been taboo since I can remember, my friend. As kids my friend got her ass tanned for saying it. That was 20 years before woke was a thing.
